The Smile of Evil

I read Marianne Fredrikssons "The Smile of Evil" this week. I like Fredrikssons books, her psychological insights, her characters and her stories. I especially liked her biblical trilogy on Eva, Kain and Norea. This was a modern story again, about a woman who has come out of a violent marriage. I am not too sure about this one, though, some of the storylines were a little convenient.

Fredriksson died last February, so this was her last novel. What I like about Fredriksson is that, while getting involved with the story and the characters, she manages to write lines that stick out and that you remember and that make you think again. I'm sorry she won't be writing more memorable lines.
